Dementia Australia Ambassadors Nicola Stevens from the Carlton Football Club AFLW and actor Doris Younane, as well as Dementia Advocates, will also talk about their experiences of dementia and why it is important to become a Dementia Friend.

Dementia Awareness Month is Dementia Australia’s national awareness-raising campaign held every year throughout September. This year’s theme is Small actions Big difference. The 2018 theme highlights the small actions people can take to create a big difference for people living with dementia, their families and carers.

You are encouraged to pledge your support by becoming a Dementia Friend. Through the Dementia Friends program, we aim to transform the way we, as a community, think, act and talk about dementia.
